# Freebuff > Freebuff is the free coding agent: a free CLI coding agent and Freebuff Web, the free way to build full-stack apps. No subscription, no setup, no lock-in. The free alternative to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Windsurf, and Devin. Freebuff has five products, all free: - **Freebuff CLI** — a free AI coding agent for your terminal. Install with `npm install -g freebuff`, then run `freebuff` in any project. It edits code, runs commands, and ships features autonomously. Supported by text ads shown in the CLI; no subscription or credit card required. Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. - **Freebuff Web** (https://freebuff.com/web) — a free full-stack web app builder. Describe the app you want and it builds, hosts, and deploys it. The free alternative to Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit Agent, and v0. - **Freebuff Cloud** (https://freebuff.com/cloud) — connect any GitHub repo and run a coding agent in a free cloud sandbox with a live preview. - **Freebuff Chat** (https://freebuff.com/chat) — a free AI research assistant that searches, reasons, and answers complex questions. - **Freebuff Desktop (beta)** (https://freebuff.com/desktop) — a native coding agent for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Run multiple agents in parallel, each in its own workspace. Freebuff is built by the Codebuff team (https://codebuff.com) on the same agent framework. ## Key pages - [Home](https://freebuff.com/): What Freebuff is, install instructions, and FAQ - [Get started](https://freebuff.com/get-started): Step-by-step setup guide for the CLI - [Freebuff Web](https://freebuff.com/web): The free full-stack app builder - [Freebuff Desktop](https://freebuff.com/desktop): The free native coding agent for macOS, Windows, and Linux - [Freebuff Cloud](https://freebuff.com/cloud): Run coding agents on any GitHub repo - [Freebuff Chat](https://freebuff.com/chat): Free AI research and deep thinking - [Enterprise](https://freebuff.com/enterprise): On-prem and self-hosted deployments, custom agents, data retention terms, and unlimited org-wide usage at no cost - [Community](https://freebuff.com/web/community): Apps built with Freebuff Web - [Blog](https://freebuff.com/blog): Guides and comparisons ([RSS](https://freebuff.com/blog/rss.xml)) - [Privacy policy](https://freebuff.com/privacy-policy) - [Terms of service](https://freebuff.com/terms-of-service) ## FAQ ### How can it be free? Freebuff is supported by text ads. ### What models do you use? Freebuff offers a curated choice of leading models. In full mode, the regular picker includes: - DeepSeek V4 Pro 08/13: Smartest. May use data for AI training. - DeepSeek V4 Flash 07/31: Smart & Fast. May use data for AI training. - GPT-5.6 Luna: Strong all-around. - MiniMax M3: Fastest. - MiMo 2.5: Balanced. DeepSeek V4 Pro 08/13 is the default on CLI, Desktop, Web, and Cloud. Limited mode uses DeepSeek V4 Flash 07/31 and MiMo 2.5. GLM 5.2 is available through earned sessions, while Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite handles specialist tasks such as file finding and research. ### Which countries is Freebuff available in? All countries. Freebuff is available in "full" or "limited" mode. The following countries have full access: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, Singapore, Malta, Israel, Ireland, and Iceland. If you are outside those countries or using a VPN, Freebuff still works in limited mode. ### What is limited mode? Limited mode lets you use Freebuff outside the full-access countries, or while using a VPN. It includes DeepSeek V4 Flash 07/31 and MiMo 2.5, with 6 one-hour sessions per day. ### Is my data used to train AI? Only when a model or feature says data may be used for AI training. Freebuff or the provider may then keep submissions to develop, train, test, evaluate, fine-tune, and improve AI models or products. ### How is my data used and stored? We use prompts, messages, code, files, and repository data to provide the service. We may analyze prompts and messages—including pasted content—to personalize ads, using Freebuff systems and service providers acting on our behalf. Separate uploads and connected repositories are not provided to advertising providers. Where required by law, we provide advertising choices and honor recognized opt-out signals; elsewhere, this processing may be required to use the free service. See the Privacy Policy for retention and details. ### What else is cool in Freebuff? Freebuff comes with 9 specialized subagents: - file-picker finds relevant files across your codebase - code-reviewer gives critical feedback on your changes - browser-use lets the AI control a real browser to test your app - thinker does deep reasoning - and more. After every response, it generates 3 clickable follow-up suggestions so you always know what to do next. For big tasks, try the commands /interview → /plan → (implement) → /review to go from idea to polished code. ## Featured articles - [The free alternative to Lovable](https://freebuff.com/blog/free-lovable-dev-ai-app-builder-alternative-freebuff): Freebuff Web is the free alternative to Lovable.
